The Factory Fit Bi-Xenons are 4300. Depends if you want that extra blue tint.

Hi All I have Litronics on my C4 and they are great. Only problem is, I have fallen in love with a GT3 CS and it doesn't! Obviously £2k for a proper Porsche conversion isn't going to happen, so what have others done to get HID for sensible money? |

easy conversion - should not have to pay more than around £120-130 now. Mine never had a problem with MOT time either and are great. |

Thanks Paul. I'm looking at http://www.aceparts.com/xenon-hid/hid-upgrade-kit.htm but I see they only supply 5000K bulbs - aren't your 6000K? Any other recommendations for suppliers? |

The Guy's name is Alan alan@aceparts.com 0208 0905 333 I arranged the Tipec discount with him a few months back He used to sell these for £175 on the website and £125 for Tipec members I see he now has them at £125 on the website, so not sure how much discount now So are you PXing the C4 ? or selling it private ? I hope you know you're gonna p*ss a certain Mr Pig off with your new purchase 
I can see a Widow Maker heading towards Reading in the near future |

They were fitted this afternoon and whilst the beam pattern isn't as good as the genuine Litronics ones, it's a very worthwhile upgrade. |

There is some debate on HID conversions - Clicky link. HID legal?

Interesting article. I'm fairly confident that the ones I fitted to mine will be OK, but as a mate has an MOT garage I might just get them checked. |

I'll be fine because I'm a poor person
